red750 Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 I was in the supermarket with my daughter last night, and she pointed out that they now have hot cross bun flavoured ice cream - I kid you not.

old man emu Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 One thing I've noticed recently as I walk around shopping centre carparks is that Australians seem to have abandoned the habit of spitting chewing gum onto the ground so that it can stick to the next bloke's thongs. I wonder if Young People have not taken up the chewing of gum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 Further to the discussion of hot cross buns, a segment on Sunrise this morning showed a female truckie with a breath testing machine. She blew into the machine and showed it registered 0.000. Then she took one bite of a hot cross bun, ate it, blew the test again, and registered 0.018. So don't eat hot cross buns then drive!

facthunter Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 ALBION Trucks used to have a saying "As Sure as the Sunrise". Not so sure of "Sunrise" being a sure source on "Sauce" information. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 Here is a link to a test conducted by Breathalyzer in WA which explains the reading. Interesting, though. Breathalyzer test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff13 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Did the same test, after rinsing with water and spitting it out back to 0.00. Also just waiting 30 secs and swallowing everything in your mouth puts it back to 0.00 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomadpete Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 That's nice. My wife used to make fruit cakes at Xmas time too. She often used a whole bottle of brandy, or rum. Amazingly, sometimes some of it got into the cakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_d Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I can be pretty sure she didn't drink too much in the making, because brandy's not her thing. If the cakes were made with gin, cider or Guinness - that'd be a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Mark Ridley, of Breathalyser, explains why. “Ingesting food which has started to ferment, the raisins and fruit inside the buns, what it’s doing is creating mouth alcohol,” Mr Ridley said. Orange juice, mouth wash and breakfast drink UP&GO can have the same results. Alcohol that has just been ingested into the mouth through the lips will be present in the mouth for approximately 15 minutes before it either evaporates and is expelled on the breath, or is absorbed through the skin of the mouth cavity. That is why police at RBT sites will ask if you have consumed any alcohol withing the previous 15 minutes, and if you have, will hold you for about that long before conducting a roadside screening test (blow in the bag). You have to be careful on Sunday mornings if you use mouthwash and then jump in your car to go get the Sunday papers. (Does anyone do that anymore?). The alcohol in the mouthwash will blow the Rs out of the breath test bag, although if you haven't been drinking, a breath analysis on an approved machine will return a negative result. It just means that your trip to the newsagent will take about an hour longer than usual, and you will be stressed out for the rest of the day.
